Re: module versions / Re: [las_users] las install problem

Takaya,

If you're installing perl modules by hand you will always go through these steps:

make
make test
make install

I would suggest that you omit the 'make test' step and jump right to the installation of the Mail::Sendmail module.  LAS doesn't rely on email to function except for a feature on the 'backgrounded' response page:

http://ferret.pmel.noaa.gov/LASdoc/serve/cache/77.html#timeout_properties

Then finish the LAS installation and see if it works.

You can always uninstall/reinstall a perl module so there is no danger with this approach.

Dear Rob

Thank you very much for your kind help.

I am installing LAS in Mandrake now according to your
suggestion. The installing have always stoped for rather
long time (20-30 minutes) in

Test Mail::Sendmail 0.79

Trying to send a message to the author (and/or whoever if
you edited test.pl)

(The test is designed so it can be run by Test::Harness
from CPAN.pm.
Edit it to send the mail to yourself for more concrete
feedback. If you
do this, you also need to specify a different mail server,
and possibly
a different From: address.)

Current recipient(s): 'Sendmail Test <sendmail@alma.ch>'

ok 1
Server set to: mail.alma.ch
Sending...

Is this action important for LAS? Can I omit this action?
This time it is more than 60 minutes but it still keeps
quiet.I wonder if it is processing or not and I go foward
or not this time? 

Best Regards,

Takaya Namba

Takaya,

You don't need to upgrade unless something
unexpected happens.

To force the 10.1 versions work, edit configure.pl.

On or about line 1600+, find the following lines and
change the version
numbers:

If you complete the install and find some odd
behavior, it may because we
forced LAS to use these slightly older modules.  The
comment above says it
all.  If you need to support years < 1000, then this
shortcut is NOT what
you want to do.

In that case, follow Jon's prior instructions:

cd ~las/xml/perl/modules/Carp-Clan-5.3

and issue the following commands as root:

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

cd ~las/xml/perl/modules/Bit-Vector-6.4

perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install

If try these and the installs fail, let us know.

Dear Rob and Jonathan

I am sorry to trouble you a lot.
I had upgraded Mandrake 9.2 to 10.1.

Could you tell me how I can upgrade the perl
      

module
    

from 5.3 and 6.3 to
Date-Calc requires 5.4
Bit-Vector requires 6.4 
for LAS 6.5.0.4.


Best Regads,
